I'm decorating my new place, can you help with ideas?

Q. I just purchased a cute new little 2 bedroom house.
I thought I had it all figured out the way I wanted to decorate it but i'm still stumped! I need some ideas or a thought for inspiration to decorate my place.

About me-
I love french culture
My favorite colors are- cool colors like blues, purples and greens but I also like white and light yellow
I'm a kid at heart but i'm a big girly girl
I like flowers, skirts, dresses, hats, perfume, flip flops, handbags and jewelry
Hawaii is the ultimate vacation spot
I love mellow music but i'm a rocker girl also
I like to relax and read a good magazine
I love to bake and I could live on drinking grape soda

sooo can anybody come up with some good themes for rooms in my new home? Thanks!
I think I want to do the guest room in all white with colored pillows and stuff what do you think?

A. Shabby chic all the way! Hit the flea markets..A great way to redecorate is to recycle. Use an old or new outdoor bird bath inside as a side table or in the bath to hold candles and bath supplies. Add an affordable glass top and wa-la! Instant table. You can also pick up many old architectural pieces at flea markets...paint them, sand them down a bit and you have instant character to any room. An old door can be stood in a corner or used as the top of a coffee or sofa table. The trick is to umber over any color you paint...this gives the piece instant aging and character. Shabby chic is the way to go....understated yet refined if done correctly.


Can you give me some ideas for painting my 6 year old daughters room.?
Q. I would like some pictures links if possible. I have some light pink..purple..& green paint and I would like to incorporate it in my daughters bedroom. Can you please send me some ideas? Pictures would be helpfull or links to a website. I have been googleing and I can't find many pictures. Thanks!!!

A. When we were kids my dad painted the walls and then put OUR hands in paint and put OUR handprints all over the wall! You can use any color paint you want for that. We loved it! We had bunk beds. And a large pink elephant hanging on the wall! Let your daughter help you decide since it is her space.


how can I stay cool in my bedroom while my female roomates are complaining that they are cold?
Q. My bedroom is on the top floor and faces the sun.It is a very hot climate most of the year and super hot in the mid summer.The girls seem always to be cold,even when it is 100 degrees.please tell me how to get along.

A. You're doomed.

And it sounds like you're also seriously outvoted, so you may have to resort to extreme measures. No, don't try to change their minds because that will probably only be frustrating for all of you. You guys are all going to have to . . . . compromise. I know it's a foreign concept in the modern era, but people have been fighting over living space temperatures since the taming of fire and we were wearing animal hides and making our homes in caves. It's very difficult to find someone to live with that likes the same temperature as you do, and you probably don't even have kids, who all seem to enjoy a much warmer environment than regular people.

Don't worry, it gets worse when you get married because then it's for keeps, and hopefully you're trying to sleep in the same room. Hopefully.

Your best bet is to get a window air conditioner, but I'm assuming you've thought of that and have discarded the idea for some reason. Either you're renting, which is likely, based on your question, and the landlord won't let you do it, it's too expensive, or someone would complain about the noise. If you can't get one of those, an in room air conditioner is an option, though it may be an unsatisfactory solution based on some of the reviews I've read. Fans can help, but only so much.

See if you can close individual room vents, either partially or completely, if you have central air, because that may allow their rooms to stay a little warmer than the rest of the house. Try begging, but not too much, because that would be a guy code violation. Usually if people are a lot colder than others it's because they are too skinny, so maybe try feeding these women. Offer to cook. I assume you're already in charge of the heavy or disgusting cleaning.

Al Capone said "you can get a lot further with a smile and a gun than with just a smile", but I don't recommend making any kind of threat. Most people respond to a sense of humor, though. Try a little charm. Or light begging.


What is the best situation for my children sharing a room?
Q. I am due with our 3rd child in Feb. I have a 4 year old boy and an 18 month old daughter (we do not yet know the sex of the new baby). We only have 3 bedrooms, so someone has to share. Here is the scoop. My 4 year old is a sound sleeper, my 18 month old is a very light sleeper. My choice would be to have the baby share the romm with the 18 month old, as to not disrupt the feelings of the 4 year old, since he will be emotionally dealing with a new baby anyways, and we don't want him to feel like he is being uprooted. I guess the other choice is for the two older two to share as well. My husband doesn't want us to share our room either since we had both our kids sleeping through the night at 7 weeks in their own cribs, he feel like we should stick with the way we have done it (child in their room in their crib). Help with any ideas is appreciated:) thanks!!!

A. Is there any other room that could be utilized for a bedroom, such as basement, family room, extra large walk-in closet for a baby room,dining room? The two younger rooms would create a problem...no sleep for the parents...since the 18 month old is a light sleeper. Both of them will be up in the middle of the night crying at the same time. It would be the best to make the move for the little ones now so it will be easier when the new baby comes in, they will be adjusted to their sleeping quarters. This will eliminate two new adjustments at the same time, new baby and new sleeping arrangements! Children thrive under routine. Just make sure the older one feels he has his OWN personal space, even if you have to have his room divided w/a curtain, or masking tape. This will make him think that he hasn't lost all his privacy. Try to think outside the box, I'm sure that you'll find a terrific solution. Its great that you are planning ahead, this is definitely an advantage! Best wishes!
